FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round
It seems a long way off,the FA Cup final,but here we are in August at the very beginning.
Midland Combination side Earleswood Town were Wulfs' opponents in a good cup-tie.Wulfs were slow out of the blocks(probably due to team changes) and Town took the initiative,their big(very big !) forwards,Glaze in particular, causing panic in the home defence. Town took a deserved lead with some neat passing and a clinical tap-in and although this seemed to spur Wulfs somewhat,Town were unlucky to only go in at half-time with a one goal lead.
Half-Time : AFC Wulfrunians 0 Earleswood Town 1
Wulfs must have had a Malcolm Tucker type bollocking in the interval as they came out 'all guns blazing' and were ahead within ten minutes of the restart through Jackson and Rose-Laing.
Town were not done,however. But for some sterling defending by Wulfs,they would have been level. Wulfs were counter-attacking with pace and it was no surprise when they increased their lead with a beautifully flighted shot from Stevenson.Still Town were looking to score but were again caught napping as Webb scored a fourth for the home side.
Result : AFC Wulfrunians 4 Earleswood Town 1
All in all,a good cup-tie, the result being a little hard on Town. Wulfs now meet Stourport Swifts in the Preliminary Round 31st August.
